Goodwill Retail Store — Local services in Unity Township

When did this Goodwill become a boutique/antique shop?

While visiting the area recently, I decided to stop by as I used to frequent this location over 10 years ago when I was a student at SVC. Back then, I often found great items at reasonable prices, and I was excited to see what treasures might await this time.

What we encountered, however, was nothing short of shocking. It felt as though this Goodwill had completely lost touch with its mission as a thrift store, with prices that could rival boutique or even antique shop standards. Here's just a sampling of what we saw:

A clearly worn pair of used Coach women’s shoes priced at $30. Men’s Adidas shorts with visible stains, marked at $20. A heavily worn men’s Under Armour shirt, with the logo barely visible anymore, priced at $15. A small, square tin featuring strawberries (about the size of a softball), priced at $4.99. A broken Fisher-Price wooden toy, covered in grime with ripped stickers, inexplicably priced at $15. Kitchenware items, including bowls and plates, priced between $20–$50.

We walked through half the store in disbelief and left before we even made it the entire way through. Goodwill has traditionally been a place for affordable shopping and the excitement of finding hidden gems—not a place where customers are met with sticker shock and prices exceeding what you'd pay for brand-new items at retailers like...

I like shopping here but the prices can be very high. They separate popular name brand clothing and mark up the prices. For instance they will take a victoria secret pajama set and mark it for $25. You can get the same set brand new for the same price or cheaper during the semi-annual sale, so why would i pay that amount at a thrift store? The clothing is donated i dont think just because its "brand" named it should be marked up for more. I dont know who makes the prices but they make absolutely no sense. They charge $30 for a Columbia fleece jacket when you can get a new one for $20 bucks more. I got 3 pairs of Michael kors sandals for $8 a pair, im not complaining by any means because that was a great deal but it makes no sense. Those sandals average $90 a pair on the site but they werent considered a select item so they werent marked up. I think the pricing should remain consistent, for instance if all jeans are supposed to be $4.99 like the sign says then all jeans regardless of brand should be $4.99. Dont just pick and choose what you think should be marked up because...

My partner and I often go to Goodwills looking for Temp-Tation stoneware and Mason Jars. We have only been to Latrobe’s store couple times mainly because we have always had bad experiences. From rude employees and employees acting like it was an effort just to answer a question. However During our last experience, 2 employees made for a great shopping experience! There names are Kylie and Courtney! They both were hard working, never stopped unless helping answering questions. While we were there my partner and I had asked couple questions and even went back to get something while at the checkout counter and never once did they show frustration. In fact, their interaction was like we were friends for years. This made for an amazing experience which caused us to want to come back. Great Job Kylie and Courtney! Will someone please pass this along to these 2 outstanding employees, management and please feel free to follow up with me by replying to this review if...
